Overview

  • In June 2025 John and his surviving daughter Amy gave their first public interview since Kyle Clifford received a whole-life order for the July 2024 murders of Carol, Hannah and Louise Hunt.
  • John said he still lives in the family home and begins and ends each day by talking aloud to his late wife and daughters as a way to keep their memory alive.
  • Amy expressed frustration over early reports that reduced her family to a statistic and said she wants to remember her mother and sisters as fully rounded individuals.
  • Both criticised the justice system for not requiring Clifford to attend his March sentencing hearing and said it prioritises the rights of perpetrators over victims’ families.
  • John has returned to his role as a BBC racing commentator and credited his daughter Hannah’s final 999 call with saving his life by alerting police to the attack.
